Greenhead College has received the Carers Federation Quality Standard in Carer Support, recognising its dedication to removing barriers for students with caring responsibilities.
The college’s approach includes improving identification systems, developing referral pathways, and providing staff with training to understand the needs of carers. By linking closely with external support organisations, Greenhead ensures students can access specialist advice when required.
The accreditation process required submission of evidence showing how support is embedded across student services, wellbeing provision, and safeguarding policies. This structured, inclusive approach guarantees carers are recognised and supported throughout their studies.
This achievement reinforces Greenhead College’s commitment to fostering an environment where every student, regardless of outside responsibilities, has the opportunity to succeed.
